Reviews
"The eight-song album is an honest-to-goodness testament to Mellencamp's longevity, artistry and ability to connect with his audience.", Ranked #5 in Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums Of 2008 -- "The darkest, most compelling Mellencamp album in years.", "Thanks to Mellencamp's melodies and the musical settings provided by his band and Burnett's lush, spirited production, the songs shine as beacons...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Amid producer T Bone Burnett's open prairie sound and aptly distorted guitar moods, Mellencamp croaks a sequence of raw, all but nihilistic yet far from self-pitying first-person tales...", "Though he may be contemplating mortality, Mellencamp, with his weathered snarl, still sound remarkably alive." -- Grade: B
